    If C is an obtuse angle in a triangle, then

    A)  tan A tan B < 1  

    B)         tan A tan B > 1

    C)         tan A tan B = 1  

    D)         None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Since, angle C is obtuse, therefore angles A and B are acute \[\therefore \]  \[\tan C>0,\,\tan A<0,\,\tan \,B<0\] Now, \[\tan (A+B)=\frac{\tan A+\tan B}{1-\tan A\tan B}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]\[\tan (\pi -C)=\frac{\tan A+\tan B}{1-\tan A\tan B}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]\[-\tan C=\frac{\tan \,A+\tan B}{1-\tan A\tan B}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]\[1-\tan A\tan B>0\]  (\[\because \] LHS and numerator are \[+ve\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]\[\tan \,A\tan B<1\]
